The climb is not particularly difficult, but the scenery is very pleasant. The road is in good condition and not very busy. The few motorists I passed were attentive and respectful.

Cette montée ne présente pas de réelle difficulté, mais les paysages de la région sont très agréables. La route est en bon état et peu fréquentée. Les rares automobilistes que j’ai croisés ont été attentifs et respectueux.

Not too difficult straight climb from Orsbach towards Herzogweg. Is great alternative from Orsbach if you don't want to ride via German Lemiers towards Seffent/Aachen/Vaals. Steepest bit is halfway up the climb.

Niet te moeilijk kaarsrechte klim vanaf Orsbach in de richting Herzogweg. Is vanaf Orsbach prima alternatief als je niet via Duits Lemiers richting Seffent/Aken/Vaals wilt rijden. Steilste stukje zit halfverwege de klim.

The asphalt has recently been completely replaced (thankfully because the road is also a signposted and quite widely used cycling route) so there is now a lovely slab of black asphalt. The lovely views (including over the ridge on the right) have remained. Point extra therefore.

Het asfalt is recentelijk volledig vervangen (gelukkig maar want de weg is ook een bewegwijzerde en best veel gebruikte fietsroute) zodat er nu een heerlijke plak zwart asfalt vanaf Orsbach ligt. Het mooie uitzicht (ook over de heuvelrug rechts) is gebleven. Puntje extra dus.

Not hard (except mentally, a long straight road going up to the end point) but a long climb, so you do feel it in the end despite it only having 9 points. Over the left shoulder nice view over Bocholtz.
Asphalt is moderate.

Niet zware (behalve mentaal, een lange rechte weg die omhoog loopt naar het eindpunt) klim maar wel lang, dus uiteindelijk voel je hem op het eind wel ondanks dat deze maar 9 punten heeft. Over de linkerschouder mooi uitzicht over Bocholtz.
Asfalt is matig.
